Understanding Ruby Method Lookup honeybadger.io

Ruby lets you express yourself like few other languages, with a minimum of boilerplate. It's fantastic until it isn't. Until one day when you think you're calling the `foo` method you wrote last week, but instead, you end up calling a `foo` method that came with some gem from 2008. In these situations, knowing about Ruby's method lookup rules will save your bacon.

The new responsive: Web design in a component-driven world web.dev

Today, when using the term: "responsive design", you are most likely thinking about using media queries to change layout when resizing a design from mobile size, to tablet size, through to desktop size.

But soon, this perception of responsive design may be considered as outdated as using tables for page layout.

Viewport-based media queries give you some powerful tools, but lack a lot of finesse. They lack the ability to respond to user needs, and the ability to inject responsive styles into components themselves.

Built my last co to $2.5m ARR, became profitable in 2.5 years, sold it for mid-8-figures, and going even bigger this time. AMA! indiehackers.com

Hey IH!

I'm Chris Bakke, the founder of Laskie.com - the best way to hire great contractors and full-time-employees.

I previously founded Interviewed, which was started in 2015 and acquired by Indeed in 2017.

We scaled to $2m+ in founder-led sales, became profitable, and learned a lot along the way.

  • Everything I've ever done in startups has been inside sales focused. This is the playbook I've used across 4 companies now: https://playbooks.laskie.co/bootstrapping-b2b-sales
  • My biggest product lesson is that most founders over-think the actual product. You don't need to make a 10x better experience. You need to make something 5-10% better to build a huge company. Also: ignore this if you're doing something actually innovative + you enjoy it. The world needs people like you. I'm just a simple B2B guy who is all about subtle, incremental changes.
  • So much tech is already bought through recommendations, referrals, and case studies. Huge opportunity here.

Caught in the Study Web every.to

Study Web is a vast, interconnected network of study-focused content and gathering spaces for students that spans platforms, disciplines, age groups, and countries.

Students seeking motivation, inspiration, focus, and support watch livestreams of a real person at their desk, studying; videos in the Study With Me genre are simultaneously streamed by thousands of students.

Or they join Discord communities, where they search for “study buddies,” share studying goals, and compete—by studying—for virtual rewards.

On Twitter, they swap study tips and seek out study “moots,” or mutuals, under the hashtag #StudyTwit.

Could Aleph.js be the next big React Framework? dev.to

A couple of months ago we covered Deno, a new JavaScript runtime that is attempting to dethrone Node.js as the de facto runtime for executing JavaScript. Ironically, Deno is being developed by Ryan Dahl, the same developer who made Node.js back in 2009.

Aleph.js is essentially just Next.js built on Deno
